Patient: A 9-year-old castrated male mixed-breed cat.History: Decreased appetite, lethargy, and weight loss were

recognized 2 weeks ago. The referring veterinarian diag-nosed severe periodontal disease. Four teeth were pulled and antibiotic therapy was initiated. The animal had inter-mittent fever, exhibited variable anorexia, became dehy-drated, and was referred to the University of Florida Small Animal Hospital for evaluation.

Clinical Findings: The cat was lethargic, slightly dehydrated, and thin, with a dry hair coat. The gums were hyperemic in association with continuing periodontal disease.

Laboratory Findings: Abnormal hematology findings included a hematocrit of 27% and total leukocyte count of 1300/µL, most of which were lymphocytes. Platelets were not counted but numbers appeared normal during stained blood film examination. Erythrocyte morphology was normal. Urinalysis and clinical chemistry values were within normal limits. The FeLV test was negative but the FIV test was positive.

Multiple particles were present and their cellularity appeared to be increased. Megakaryocyte numbers appeared normal, and most were mature. The myeloid series was left-shifted, with a depletion of mature neutrophils. The erythroid series was complete, with orderly maturation, but a decreased amount of polychromasia was present. Lymphocytes, plasma cells, and macrophages were present in normal numbers. Hemosiderin was not observed, but this is a normal finding in cats. Erythrophagocytosis and leuko-phagocytosis were rarely observed.

Interpretation: Granulocytic hyperplasia with abnormal maturation.

Comment: An increased M : E ratio in a severely leukopenic, mildly anemic animal with hypercellular marrow and dis-ordered myeloid maturation is most likely secondary to FIV infection in this cat. This pattern could also be detected transiently during a recovery phase after severe granulo-cytic depletion, although this is less likely based on the history. If the animal is in a recovery phase from neutro-penia, the leukocyte count should increase in the peripheral blood within a few days.

RBC, red blood cell count; MCV, mean cell volume; MCH, mean cell hemoglobin; MCHC, mean cell hemoglobin concentration; RDW, red blood cell distribution width; MPV, mean platelet volume; NR, not reported.aData from adult dogs, cats, and horses were determined at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. Total leukocyte counts, erythrocyte param-eters, and platelet values were measured from healthy adult animals of both sexes and various breeds using an Advia 120 hematology analyzer. Greyhounds and other sighthounds were excluded. Thoroughbred and quarter horses in equal numbers accounted for about 90% of the hot-blooded horses studied. Reticu-locyte counts represent the minimum and maximum values measured from 58 dogs and 41 cats. The Advia 120 counts primarily aggregate reticulocytes in cats. These automated platelet counts are lower than reference values reported for manual platelet counts in dogs (200-500 × 103/µL) and cats (300-800 × 103/µL). Leukocyte differential counts were performed manually by classifying 200 leukocytes in each stained blood film.bMeasurements from bovine leukemia virus-negative adult dairy cows in mid-lactation were performed using an Advia 120 hematology analyzer and manual differential leukocyte counts. (From George JW, Snipes J, Lane VM. Comparison of bovine hematology reference intervals from 1957 to 2006. Vet Clin Pathol. 2010;39:138-148.)cMeasurements from crossbred grower pigs weighing between 30 and 50 kg were performed using an Advia 2120 hematology analyzer. (From Klem TB, Bleken E, Morberg H, Thoresen SI, Framstad T. Hematologic and biochemical reference intervals for Norwegian crossbred grower pigs. Vet Clin Pathol. 2010;39:221-226.)dThe goat population sampled and hematology analyzer(s) used were not given. The hematocrits were determined using microhematocrit tubes and leukocyte differential counts were determined by examining stained blood films. (From Jain NC. Schalm’s Veterinary Hematology, 4th ed. Philadelphia: Lea & Febiger; 1986.)eTotal protein, fibrinogen, and icterus index values were determined using manual methods. (From Jain NC. Schalm’s Veterinary Hematology, 4th ed. Philadelphia: Lea & Febiger; 1986.)
